Pictures of corn rouging?

Question

would like to see pictures of corn that needs to be rouged

Answer 1

Rogueing (removing off-type plants) is something that would be done only in a seed production field -- you'd either be producing inbreds for future hybrid seed production, or hybrid seed for general farming.

Try magazines like Wallace's Farmer, or perhaps FFA type textbooks.  Cornfields that need roguing look very much like the typical field that's growing corn for sale.  When you rogue, you're walking the rows of corn removing any "volunteer" corn from previous years, and any corn plants that don't look like the seed or pollen parents in that seed corn production field.  Since seed corn production depends on inbreds that are usually pretty scroungy looking in comparison to the hybrids you're used to seeing, it's not a terribly difficult task to spot off-types.

Here's sort of a primer:
